The College Transfer Program
The transfer program at Mayland Community College prepares you to enter a four-year college or university. The program is guided by the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA), a statewide agreement governing the transfer of credits between NC community colleges and NC public universities, with the goal of ensuring a smooth transfer process for students.
The CAA enables NC community college graduates of two-year Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degree programs who are admitted to institutions within the University of North Carolina system to transfer with junior status. To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the CAA, students must graduate with an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree and have an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and a grade of "C" or better in all CAA courses. Students who do not complete the degree are eligible to transfer credits on a course-by-course basis.
MCC offers the following three transfer options. The courses in these programs parallel those taken by freshmen and sophomores at four-year colleges. Depending on which option you choose, you may be able to transfer with junior status.
• The Associate in Arts degree (AA)
The Associate in Arts degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year
degree in one of the liberal arts disciplines or training at a professional school that requires a strong liberal arts background.
• The Associate in Science degree (AS)
The Associate in Science degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, the sciences or professional programs that require strong mathematics and science backgrounds.
• Course-by-course transfer
Course-by-course transfer is available for students who want to transfer prior to completing the AA or AS degree. To be considered for transfer admission at most four-year colleges, students must complete approximately 30 transferrable credit hours with a “C” or better prior to transferring. Students should note they will be responsible for meeting the four-year school’s General Education requirements if transferring course-by-course. In addition, students must have met high school Minimum Course Requirements (MCR) in order to transfer without completing the AA or AS. For more information on MCR, see the “Frequently Asked Questions” section on this topic.

Frequently Asked Questions about College Transfer
• How are the AA and AS degrees structured?o The AA and AS programs of study include two components:
• The Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) comprises a minimum of 30 hours of credit. These courses form the foundation of a quality higher education for all students at a two-year or a four-year level. Some of these hours should be selected with your intended major in mind, especially in the areas of mathematics and science. Students who complete courses in this component with a grade of “C” or better will receive credit applied toward the university’s lower-division general education course requirements.
• Additional general education, pre-major, and elective courses comprise a minimum of 30 hours of credit and prepare students for successful transfer into selected majors at UNC institutions. After you have completed the UGETC courses, you will select 15 semester hours of additional General Education courses more specific to your areas of interest, as defined by your university-of-choice. You will also complete 15 semester hours of pre-major or elective courses to earn your AA or AS degree. Again, you will select those 15 hours with your specific interests and the graduation requirements of the university/college in mind. Students who satisfactorily complete a transfer course designated as general education, pre-major or elective will receive transfer credit for the course.
• Can I transfer with an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree?
o It is possible to transfer with an AAS degree, such as Business Administration or Human Services Technology, but it will likely take longer to complete a Bachelor’s degree than with the AA or AS. AAS degrees require fewer general education courses than the AA, AS, or Bachelor’s degree, so students will be required to complete remaining general education requirements at MCC or at the four-year college. Also, many courses within the AAS degrees do not typically transfer to four-year schools.
7
• What are the “MCR” requirements and are transfer students required to meet them? o “MCR” refers to the Minimum Course Requirements set by of the Board of Governors
of the University of North Carolina. Students who graduated from high school in 1990 or later must have met the following requirements during high school:
English Four course units emphasizing grammar, composition, and literature
Mathematics Three course units in one of the following combinations: • Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry
• Algebra I, Algebra II, and one unit beyond Algebra II • Integrated Mathematics I, II, and III. (for 2005
graduates and earlier)
Four course units in one of the following combinations: • Algebra I and II, Geometry, and one unit beyond
Algebra II
• Algebra I and II, and two units beyond Algebra II • Integrated Mathematics I, II, and III, and one unit
beyond Integrated Mathematics III (for 2006
graduates and after)
Science Three course units including at least one unit in a life or biological science, one unit in a physical science, and at least one laboratory course
Social Studies Two course units including one in United States History Second Language A sequence of two course units of a language other than
English (For 2004 graduates and after)
If you are planning to transfer to one of the sixteen institutions in the University of North Carolina system you must have completed the MCR. Students who do not meet the MCR during high school must complete the entire AA or AS degree OR complete six semester hours in each area listed below. All courses must be transferable to the appropriate four-year college.
• English (6 semester hours) • Math (6 semester hours)
• Natural Science (6 semester hours) • Social Science (6 semester hours)
• Foreign Language (6 Semester hours) For 2004 graduates and after o Exemptions: Students who meet one of the following criteria are exempt from
meeting MCR:
• 21 years or older (by the time of enrollment at the UNC institution)
• Any age with 24 or more transferable college credits (does not include AP, IB or credit by exam)
8
• Which NC colleges honor the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA)? o All UNC-system colleges are required to honor the CAA. The 16 UNC schools are:
1. Appalachian State University 2. East Carolina University 3. Elizabeth City State University 4. Fayetteville State University
5. North Carolina A&T State University 6. North Carolina Central University 7. North Carolina State University 8. UNC Asheville
9. UNC Chapel Hill 10. UNC Charlotte 11. UNC Greensboro 12. UNC Pembroke 13. UNC Wilmington 14. UNC School of the Arts 15. Western Carolina University 16. Winston-Salem State University o Most of the private schools in North Carolina have signed on to the Independent
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA), which provides the same assurances as the CAA, but applies to independent and private colleges and universities that participate. Participating independent schools include: • Brevard College
• Campbell University • Gardner-Webb University • Lees-McRae College • Lenoir-Rhyne University
• Mars Hill University • Montreat College • Warren Wilson College • Wingate University • And many more…*
*The only private schools NOT participating in the ICAA at this time are Cabarrus College of Health Sciences, Davidson College, Duke University, Elon University, and Wake Forest University.
• How does ETSU handle Mayland’s transfer courses?
o ETSU does accept Mayland’s AA and AS as meeting its general education requirements. Students should note this does NOT include AAS degrees. See the General Education section of ETSU’s current Undergraduate Catalog for more information (https://catalog.etsu.edu/content.php?catoid=36&navoid=1561). o Students not planning to complete an AA or AS degree can use ETSU’s transfer
equivalency tool (https://selfserv.etsu.edu/pls/PROD/bywktrar.P_Display_States) to select MCC courses that will satisfy ETSU’s general education requirements.
Students can also ask their advisor or transfer counselor for the MCC-ETSU General Education Crosswalk.
• What about about other out-of-state colleges?
o Out-of-state colleges and private colleges not listed above do not honor the CAA/ICAA. It is very important to check with those specific colleges to see how courses will transfer.
• How many more years will I have to attend college after I leave MCC in order to get my Bachelor’s degree?
9
What are CAA Baccalaureate Degree Plans (also called Transfer Guides or Pathways)? o Many North Carolina schools have developed baccalaureate degree plans (BDPs) to
help students identify the best community college courses to take depending on their intended major. Following these degree plans should best position students to transfer smoothly to a UNC institution and complete their desired major. For links to each UNC college’s and some private colleges’ degree pathway websites, visit MCC’s College Transfer website (https://www.mayland.edu/ admissions/transfer-assistance/).
It is important for students to note that following the pathways does not guarantee admission to any school, and that they serve as recommendations only. Four-year institutions do not require or expect that all transfer students will have completed all the courses listed on these pathways. The guides are meant to be an example of how a degree could be completed in four years.
Also, students should note the academic year identified on the plan they are using. Four-year schools should honor the BDP that corresponds with your enrollment at the community college. Though programs may change as you complete your AA/AS, you can expect to get credit for courses you took based on a BDP from a specific year. It is recommended that your print your BDP and bring it when you meet with your advisor at the four-year school.
• What if I haven’t decided on a major?
o That’s okay. College should be a place to discover new fields and to open doors to new possibilities. Taking a variety of courses can help you define your interests and talents. The Counseling and Disability Services Office offers career counseling with inventories that can suggest possible career paths. Also, your ACA 122 course will assist you in career and major exploration.
However, it helps to make a decision on a major by the end of your first 30 semester hours so that you take courses that fulfill the requirements for that major. Be open with your advisor about careers you are considering so your advisor can use that information to assist you in selecting courses. Again, math and science course choices are major-specific.
• Are there general education courses that are not covered by the CAA?
o Yes, foreign language, physical education, and upper level general education
courses are not covered by the CAA. If the college you plan to attend requires any of these you must meet these requirements either at MCC, another community college, or at the four-year college.
• Will a grade of “D” transfer to the four-year school?
10 • Will all my courses transfer?
o Generally, all courses in the College Transfer program will transfer to the four-year institution as an equivalent course or as an elective. The CAA assures the transfer of credit from the college transfer curriculum to state institutions in NC. For out-of-state and private colleges, students should contact admissions regarding transferability of courses.
• Is there a maximum number of hours that can be transferred to the four-year school? o Most four-year schools accept a maximum of 64 semester hours. A minimum of 60
hours must be taken at the four-year school.
• What is the Transfer Assured Admissions Policy (TAAP)?
o The Transfer Assured Admissions Policy (TAAP) assures admission to one of the 16 UNC institutions under the following conditions:
• Admission is not assured to a specific campus or specific program or major. • Students must have graduated from a North Carolina community college with
an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree. • Students must meet all requirements of the CAA.
• Students must have an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, as calculated by the college from which they graduated, and a grade of “C” or better in all CAA courses.
• Students must be academically eligible for re-admission to the last institution attended.
• Students must meet judicial requirements of the institution to which they apply.
• Students must meet all application requirements at the receiving institution, including the submission of all required documentation by stated deadlines. • If a student is denied admission to a UNC institution, then he or she will be
notified in writing by the institution. In this notification, the student will be directed to the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) website (www.cfnc.org) where the student will be given information regarding space availability and contacts in the respective UNC Admissions offices. It is the student’s responsibility to contact each institution’s admissions office to get specific information about admissions and available majors.
11
• Are transfer admissions requirements the same for all four-year schools in North Carolina?
o No! It is very important to check the catalog or website for each school regarding application deadline dates, minimum number of transfer hours, and GPA
requirements for regular admission and/or admission to competitive majors.
Typically, a 2.0 GPA is required for regular admission to a four-year school, but it is important to check the catalog. The GPA used for admission is calculated by the four-year school and all grades in transferable courses, including repeated courses, are calculated in that GPA. It is also important to check on the admission
requirements for individual major departments (i.e. Social Work, Education, or Business). These often differ from general admission requirements, so check the catalog or website.
• If I am an Early College student, how does that affect my application process?
o Each of the public NC universities has its own admissions process for Early College students. If you are an Early College student who has completed a transfer degree, you have the option of applying as a freshman or as a transfer student.
• Generally, Early College students apply as freshmen using the college’s freshman application. Applying as a freshman gives you access to freshmen benefits such as housing, scholarships, learning communities, honors, and other special programs reserved for freshmen. In addition, regardless of your student type when you apply, your transfer credits will be evaluated to
determine your class standing (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior). Typically, Early College students end up with Junior class standing even though they are considered first-time freshmen for admissions purposes. This can be helpful when it comes to registering for upper-level classes and
accessing other benefits associated with higher class standing. • If you are an Early College student and you are concerned about your
standardized test scores or high school GPA, you might want to consider applying as a transfer student, since transfer students are only evaluated on their GPA from college coursework. However, in order to apply as a transfer student, you may have to sit out one semester before you transfer.
o As an Early College student, you should work closely with your Early College school counselor and the admissions office at your transfer university to determine the best option for you. It is important to remember that admissions policies for Early College students will vary for each university and depending on each student’s situation.
• What if I think the terms of the CAA haven’t been met when I transfer?
o If you think that the terms of the CAA have not been honored, you may follow the Transfer Credit Appeal Procedure as outlined in Appendix E of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
12 • What could make me ineligible for the CAA?
o If any of the following apply to you, contact the transfer advisor and/or the registrar at your college of choice.
• You entered college prior to Fall 1997 (even if Dual Enrollment/Huskins Bill) • You are transferring to an out-of-state college
• You are transferring to an NC private college not signed on to the ICAA • You have more than 14 hours of transfer credits from a school outside the NC
Community College System or the UNC System
• You have a grade of PR, other than AP scores (including CIS 110) • You have a “D” or below in any CAA course
• You have a GPA below 2.0
• What factors should I consider when choosing a four-year college? o The number of associate degree hours that will transfer.
o Tuition rates; out of state colleges and private colleges tend to be more expensive. o The number of students; smaller colleges provide more individualized attention. o The quality of the institution, including facilities, instructors, resources, libraries,
technology, etc.
o Your major; does the college offer it and is it a quality program?
o The location; you may have a preference for where you want to live while in college. o Accreditation; you may want to avoid colleges or major programs that are not
accredited with an appropriate accrediting organization.
o Support services; compare the quality of academic support and disability services. o Cooperative education; many colleges have programs in which students can work for
college credit in order to gain experience in their field.
o Activities; think about your interests and whether or not the college has activities available in these areas.
• When should I apply to the colleges I am considering?
o Each college has its own deadline for applications. However, a good rule of thumb is to apply a year ahead of the date you wish to enroll. You may find that some
colleges will allow you to apply as late as one month prior to enrollment, however most colleges set their deadlines at approximately six months prior to enrollment. It may be to your benefit to submit your application early for scholarship applications, on-campus housing consideration, and in case you are placed on a waiting list. • Is there a limit on the number of transfer students a four-year college will accept?
13
• What is the “tuition surcharge” in North Carolina?
o Students enrolled in a UNC-system school who take more than 140 degree credit hours to complete a baccalaureate degree in a four-year program or more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the credit hours necessary to complete a
baccalaureate degree in a five-year program will be charged a fifty percent tuition surcharge. In other words, if, after you transfer to a four-year school, you take more than 140 credit hours to finish your degree, you will be charged an additional 50% of your tuition (only tuition, not fees).
Courses and credit hours taken include those taken at that institution and those that have been accepted for transfer. All credits earned at a community college with the
exception of summer sessions count in the 140 semester hour limit.
o Students can request a waiver of the tuition surcharge. Consult the Registrar at your four-year school for more information.
• Are scholarships available for community college students who are transferring? o Yes. Some colleges have their own scholarships, which are described on the
Financial Aid portion of their websites. Private industry also offers scholarships to specific majors. Ask the Financial Aid Office at MCC and at the college to which you are planning to transfer for information about scholarships for transfer students. You may also want to check out free online scholarship searches and other financial aid resources available via the internet.
• Where can I get more information about the transfer process and individual schools? o Visit MCC’s Counseling and Disability Services Office, or join the SOAR program. A
counselor will be available to help you track down the information you need to make informed decisions regarding your educational and career plans. Students who are in the SOAR Program can see the Transfer Counselor for in-depth assistance as well. You may also wish to consult your faculty advisor.
o College Days are set up in both the fall and spring, where you can meet with college admissions representatives and collect materials.
o Visit MCC’s College Transfer website for more information and links to UNC-system and some private and out-of-state schools (https://www.mayland.edu/
admissions/transfer-assistance/).
• Who can help me with college transfer and choosing courses? o Your Arts & Sciences advisor
